It is a long way to come for a closet raid but you would be very welcome :)</p> <p>Thanks Style Fan. Shelly Hack, that's the one. I have a memory of her striding&nbsp;about&nbsp;and throwing&nbsp;her hair around to the accompaniment of a cheesy song.

I've been thinking about raiding your closet, but I'm thinking you must live in the southern hemisphere, so this will take a little planning... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593610 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 15:32:57 +0000 Maneera 1593610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit. You're one hell of a gorgeous woman...but I'm sure you know that! The outfit has a lovely "romantic" feel about it....I guess it's that beautiful scarf that gives it the vibe. </p> <p>LMAO about your comment on *running out of adjectives*. I'm kind of in that phase right now! Ok....so I'm not alone in this.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593607 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 15:30:32 +0000 Angie 1593607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. Nice cognac accents.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593584 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 13:26:50 +0000 Anonymous 1593584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love a nip of cognac with burgundy. As others said, the scarf is magic. The cognac lightens the darker colors while the scarf brightens and calls attention to your face. I also remember those commercials. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593578 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 12:54:38 +0000 MTBGirl 1593578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Yes your nip of cognac is delicious! : ) &nbsp; I love everything about this! You look fab! </p> <p>Oh, and I remember those commercials! I used to love Tabu!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593564 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 11:16:46 +0000 Brooklyn 1593564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Helen!

Love the nip of cognac. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593560 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 11:04:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1593560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah, Summer and Diane.<br /> Diane, I see you don't run out of adjectives. "Wafty", I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593555 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:46:41 +0000 Anonymous 1593555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love the ruched skirt and the wafty (new word :D)&nbsp;scarf. What a fab idea to put cognac with this look as it totally works. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593554 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:18:21 +0000 Summer 1593554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely, Brooklyn. &nbsp;Agreeing with the others that the scarf is the perfect finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593551 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 09:46:33 +0000 Deborah 1593551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The scarf is the third piece here that pulls the look together. Beautiful colour scheme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593538 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 08:42:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1593538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mellllls and Sally!<br /> Good to "see" you Sally. I get that about lurking. And it's a busy time too. I find sometimes that I run out of adjectives when commenting. :)<br /> I agree the scarf really adds to the outfit. I should have taken a photo without it to demonstrate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593535 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 08:11:14 +0000 Sal 1593535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very well done - and great work being able to do the ensemble. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love the scarf here but also rarely wear scarves in summer. &nbsp;It adds a lot to the look, definitely pulls it together.</p> <p>I loved your shorts looks too - I am almost "out of steam" this year and have been lurking rather than commenting the last week or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593533 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 07:00:46 +0000 Mellllls 1593533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great! Thank you for illustrating this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-purple-grey-and-a-nip-of-cognac#post-1593527 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 06:40:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1593527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is not often I get a chance to&nbsp;try out the Friday ensemble, on account of&nbsp;it generally having a seasonal aspect. But the combination of burgundy,&nbsp;eggplant and grey is one that I am very drawn to,&nbsp;so I&nbsp;thought I would have a go.</p> <p>I wore this outfit to work yesterday. The outfit consists of a dark grey ruched&nbsp;tube skirt with a subtle print on it, purple mixed media top (silk and linen) and an ombre burgundy and grey scarf.&nbsp;(I LOVE ombre!) I teamed it with cognac sandals and bag. That makes 4 colours! Pretty good for a low affinity colour mixer!&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't wear summer weight scarves very often but I do like the way they waft about the place as you walk around. Makes me feel like I am in one of those old fashioned fragrance ads&nbsp;for Tabu or Charlie. Remember those?</p> <p>Comments, questions, suggestions etc welcome :)</p> <p>Outfit details:</p> <p>Skirt: Metalicus (oldish)</p> <p>Top: Piper (at Myer) (this year)</p> <p>Scarf: French Connection (this year)</p> <p>Shoes: Wittner "Wally" (last year)</p> <p>Bar: Oroton (last year)</p>
